MotoGP. Start the crucial period with six races in eight weeks

In short, between June and July, the world should take a clear appearance, with a clarity of values ??in the field. Until now it was the Honda to dominate – three wins in four races – but leading the championship with Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo. The world champion is 78 points, 12 fewer than in 2010, when he was leading with two wins and two second places. This year, Lawrence had to settle – so to speak, of course – one successful (in Spain) and three podiums, with a fourth place at Le Mans rather worrying, because the few times we saw it in distress.

COMPARISON BETWEEN 2010 AND 2011
Continuing with the comparison with last season, we see that Dani Pedrosa has more or less the same points – 61 against 65 – always obtained with a win and three podiums in total, but the ranking of Dani weighs much the “zero” of the GP caused by the fall of France on the 18th lap due to contact with Marco Simoncelli. Gresini team rider, one of the leading figures of 2011, has collected one point less than last year, when he was in great difficulty: a confirmation, even by the numbers, which still Sic fails to realize his talent. But it is always very fast and can become one of the key variables for the award of the title.

Eight points less for Andrea Dovizioso (50 against 58), although the ranking (fourth) is unchanged, but in 2010 Andrea had won three podiums, one year only, because this year the level is much more higher than in the past. Valentino Rossi 14 points for a win and a podium at least, while his teammate Nicky Hayden has curiously the same points (39) 2010. Overall, the stars of MotoGP have lost 39 points, virtually all won by Casey Stoner, who has more than 42 points in 2010. The Australian, among other things, is the only one who has already won twice this season and without the “zero” of Jerez, the error caused by Rossi, now would probably be leading the championship.
The fight for the title seems restricted to three pilots, with more regular Lorenzo, Pedrosa and Stoner fastest penalized by injuries: a fractured right clavicle without, my favorite would be just Dani, but it will be crucial to see how it will react to yet another Spanish incident of his career.

ROSSI – DUCATI
After the first podium finish at Le Mans, Valentino has tested the 1000 Ducati at Mugello in 2012, and seems more optimistic about the rest of the season. “We started to Valencia at the end of 2010 – says the champion of Tavullia – we were last separated by 1″ 8, a bit ‘because of my physical condition and a little’ for the development of the bike, but now we are closer although there is still much to do. ”
The analysis of the data, however, says that from Qatar to France has changed its position to the finish, but not posting. Let’s see in detail. In Qatar, Rossi won the ninth place after trial 1 “500 from the pole, finishing seventh in the GP 16″ 431, was 12th in Jerez test in a “428 and fifth in the race in more than a minute (but dropped ), ninth in Estoril 1 “110 and fifth in qualifying at 16″ 555 to the finish line, another ninth in the test at Le Mans in a “053, the third under the checkered flag in 14″ 564.

In short, the numbers do not support major improvements, but there are four reasons to think that from here on Rossi and Ducati will be competitive.
1) The GP11 is a particular motion, certainly very different from the Japanese and then takes time to happen: inevitable, however, from here on the harmony between Valentino and the Desmosedici can only improve;
2) The new chassis, which debuted officially at Le Mans, seems to have good potential, but has yet to be developed: in this respect as are large margins for improvement;
3) In Barcelona, ??will debut the new engine, which should ensure smoother power delivery, as requested by Valentino;
4) From this point on, Smith should be finally in place physically and driving will not be conditioned on her right shoulder from the accident, as happened in the first half of the season.
